About this property

Large Lake House: Expansive View

Reconnect with loved ones and enjoy a getaway of lake fun when you stay at this Paw Paw lakehouse! Featuring a private dock and lake views from the floor-to-ceiling picture windows, this spacious, tastefully designed home offers numerous vacation amenities. Spend the day fishing on Eagle Lake, playing yard games or relaxing on the deck. After dinner enjoy watching the sunset over the water and then cap the night off roasting marsh mellows over the fire, or drinking wine under the party lights.

Our lakehouse is the perfect retreat for a family vacation or a long weekend with friends. The property consists of an expansive list of features that will make your stay memorable:

- two refrigerator freezers ensure you'll have ample space for food and drink

- from a large front room dining and sitting area to a separate sitting area in the kitchen to a living room and bonus sun room and then a spacious basement there are plenty of places to hang out.

- the kitchen is spacious and has all the appliances and cooking tools you need for your stay.

- dining can take place at the large table in the front room, the four bar stools in the kitchen or the two decks (one seats 4, the other seats 6 - 8).

- three bedrooms (sleep 8 in total) plus a loft (sleeps 4) and a trundle bed in the basement (sleeps 2) provides plentiful sleeping options.

- the living room has a bumper pool table and a cabinet full of puzzles and games.

- the sports garage (accessible through a door in the laundry room and slider to the yard) includes two bins of beach toys, fishing rods and tackle, and numerous yard games (bocce ball, corn hole, croquet, spike ball, kan jam, and ring toss), and a standup paddle board. A seated-kayak (stationed outside on the west side of the house) is also free to use.

- the outdoor fire pit also comes with free firewood and roasting sticks.

- if the sun gets too hot lounge on an Adirondack chair in the shaded patio

- a gas grill (with spare propane tank) is located on the east deck.

- easy access to the lake from the steps off the pier.

- sandy, shallow water for 30 - 40 meters from the pier makes for a perfect swimming area for young kids.

Everything in the lake house is for guest use except for contents of the primary garage (and the owners' bin in the pantry).

I'm available via call or text for the duration of your stay. I live an hour north in Grand Rapids, Michigan but I have neighborhood contacts that might be able to help if I'm not available.

Our lake house is on the south end of 200 acre Eagle Lake. We have 300 feet of lakefront property with neighbors on both the east and west sides of our house.

We have two driveways (a primary driveway and a smaller driveway on the west of the house). Please keep to the 15 mph limit when driving in the neighborhood.

Our pontoon boat (seats 8 - 10) is available to rent between the months of May and September. The current rate is $150 / day or $900 / week (fuel provided). Please inquire to see the pontoon rental contract. Separate payment is made directly with the owner.

We have two external security cameras. One camera, aimed at the driveway, is also a spotlight to provide light for when guests enter at night. The other camera, aimed at the back yard and lake, provides us with peace of mind that our pontoon boat is safe and secure.

Please note that we have been listing our property as a vacation rental since July 2020. We used a separate property management company but played the role of host and guest contact. We had 30+ reviews on Airbnb with a 4.97 average rating before deciding to manage our listing directly (the reviews couldn't be transferred).

Great lake house vacation!
We had a great lake house vacation. Rob was an excellent host (great communication and information to help us plan our trip and maximize our stay). The house was perfect for our group (6 adults and 6 children) with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities. Highly recommend!

Nice home
We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. It was clean and well maintained. There were even enough beds, bedrooms, and parking for our extended family. I gave the house a 4 star rating as there were 2 safety issues that should be addressed. There needs to be a safety rail on the outside of the stairs leading from the basement to the main floor. A child could easily fall and hurt himself. Also, none of the showers had a safety bar. I recently had surgery and needed a handhold for balance while showering. Seating in the living room was limited due to the bumper pool table taking up much space. Overall, it was a nice lake house.

Annual Family Get Together
I have stayed in many rentals and by far this was my favorite! Many cute & whimsical touches, everything labeled clearly, great communication with Rob! The home was very nicely appointed, and very clean! Lot's of extra goodies for our families to enjoy. Great farm stand just down the road with awesome produce! The lake was clean & very enjoyable. All in all we had a fantastic weekend even with it being Friday the 13th! Best part was we got to see a few meteors! Would highly reccomend!

Beautiful view
The house was absolutely beautiful. We had no problems with the check in and there was a bottle of wine to welcome us. Rob contacted us that evening to make sure everything was okay and if there was anything that we needed. He was very responsive whenever we contacted him. There were only 4 of us but if you have a house full what was so nice was the many sitting areas to space out. The weather was not good while we were there but the big windows and large table was the perfect spot to enjoy the lake view while reading and playing games. We also rented the pontoon boat unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate, we only took it out twice. Rob was so gracious and gave us a partial refund. The kitchen had every utensil/pans you would need to use for cooking or baking. The 3 bathrooms were well stocked with necessities and the whole house was very clean. We would definitely recommend this lake house to others!

About the host

Hosted by Rob Poel

Host profile image
We have owned this property since summer 2020. My family and I live an hour north of the lakehouse in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our kids are are 23, 19 and 14 and each of them love spending time with family at the cottage or hosting friends there.

Why they chose this property

We bought this lakehouse as we wanted something close enough to make it an easy drive but far enough to feel like we are getting away from home. The 1 hour distance from Grand Rapids is perfect. We also wanted to share our home with others and the Paw Paw location provides for a perfect escape for guests from Chicago and the east side of Michigan.

What makes this property unique

The view of the lake from the front room or two decks is stunning (especially as the sun sets). And the property itself has so much to offer: a sports garage full of water toys, fishing gear and countless yard games; a fire pit; multiple zones in the house for socializing or escaping; and numerous great sleeping options including a loft that families with kids just love.
